@KiaInd my car has been in the service Center for 3 months now due to no parts being available. Your corporate email and employees responsible don’t respond and expect customers to follow up. You guys have zero accountability. Scammers!
@IGPcom what kind of a scam are you running? My gift order that I paid extra for a midnight delivery was marked delivered without an actual delivery and there is no way to reach your support team! My emails and WhatsApp messages hoot no responses since midnight. Refund my money
A man goes to the doctor and says,
“Doctor, I’m in terrible pain. It hurts everywhere I touch!”
The doctor says, “Everywhere?”
The man says, “Yes! Watch - when I touch my head, it hurts. When I touch my chest, it hurts. When I touch my leg, it hurts. Even when I touch my stomach, it hurts!”
The doctor examines him and finally says,
“I know the problem.”
The man asks, “What is it, doctor?”
The doctor replies, “Your finger is broken.”

The awesome animation aside, there is a whole cliffhanger on why is Bahubali fighting the Devas! Hooked on a minute long promo! SSR knows his craft. Hyped!
American has the schedule of payments for her mortgage, her payment is $5,700 a month
- After over 4 years of 50 payments, that’s $285,000 paid, but only $50k goes to principal
- $230,000 goes JUST TO INTEREST
- With interest over 30 years, you're actually going to end up paying $1.6 million
- Her home only cost $784,000
So she’s paying $1.6 million for a $784k home because of interest. Again, this is Usury
“I want to use this to talk to you about why home buying in America is an absolute scam and why this will be the last house we ever buy in”
> Annual fastag cost 3k but it won't work on expressways.
> Tax upto 12L is nil but if you earn more than 12L then pay tax from 4L
> Ethanol blending is done to reduce petrol import but it reduces mileage so you end up buying more petrol.
Almost every policy of this Govt is like a gimmick, it sounds so good unless you check the details. It's like a private company launching products to earn profit not Govt doing something for public welfare.
Rule of thumb: when govt. is quoting a range of damage that its policies can do, assume the worst.
So I pay 100% the petrol cost for a 80% percent and get a bonus 6% mileage decrease. Plus the cost of degraded equipment. GoI thinks we’re all idiots.
📑Some articles/ reports in the media have raised concerns about the potential negative impact of 20% ethanol blending (E20) in petrol, particularly with regard to older vehicles and customer experience. These concerns, however, are largely unfounded and not supported by scientific evidence or expert analysis.
▶️International studies on the effect of using Ethanol-Petrol Blends on Mechanical, Energy and Environmental Performance of Vehicles through testing of carbureted and fuel-injected vehicles every 10,000 km during their first 100,000 km showed statistically no significant differences in power and torque generated and fuel consumption. Material compatibility and drivability tests by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) and Indian Oil Corporation (R&D) have confirmed that legacy vehicles also showed no significant variations, performance issues or abnormal wear-and-tear when operated with E20. Moreover, E20 fuel passed hot and cold startability tests without any engine damage.
▶️Multiple concerns have been addressed as below:
🔹Fuel efficiency:- Ethanol, being lower in energy density than petrol, results in a marginal decrease in mileage, estimated at 1–2% for four-wheelers designed for #E10 and calibrated for #E20, and around 3–6% in others. This marginal drop in efficiency can be further minimized through improved engine tuning and use of E20-compatible materials, which leading automobile manufacturers have already adopted. In fact, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has confirmed that E20-compliant vehicles with upgraded components began rolling out from April 2023. Thus, the allegation that E20 leads to drastic drop in fuel efficiency is factually incorrect.
🔹Material corrosion:- Safety standards for E20, including corrosion inhibitors and compatible fuel system materials, are well established through BIS specifications and Automotive Industry Standards. Replacement of some rubber parts/ gaskets could be advised in certain older vehicles after prolonged use of say 20,000 to 30,000 kms. This replacement is inexpensive and easily done during regular servicing of the vehicle
🔹Environmental concerns:- Ethanol replaces petrol, a fossil fuel and reduces CO2 emissions. India’s ethanol blending programme is through feedstock diversification. Ethanol is increasingly being produced from not only sugarcane but also from surplus rice, maize, damaged foodgrains, and agricultural residues, especially under the push for second-generation (2G) biofuels. This makes ethanol blending not only technically viable, but environmentally sustainable as well. A study on life cycle emissions of ethanol done by Niti Aayog has assessed that GHG emissions in case of sugarcane and maize based ethanol use is less by 65% and 50%, respectively, than that of petrol.
🔹Benefits:
🔸Ride quality and vehicle performance: Ethanol has a higher octane number than Petrol (~108.5 vs. 84.4) which implies that ethanol-petrol blends have a higher octane number than traditional petrol. Therefore, the use of ethanol becomes a partial alternative for providing high-octane fuels (~95), required for modern high compression ratio engines providing a better ride quality. Vehicles tuned for E20 (having increased RON) deliver even higher performance. Ethanol is also characterized by having a higher heat of vaporization than petrol. This aspect makes the temperature of the intake manifold lower, which increases air-fuel mixture density, therefore increasing the engine’s volumetric efficiency.
🔸E20 blending significantly strengthens India’s energy security by reducing dependence on crude oil imports. In fact, since 2014-15 India has already saved more than Rs. 1.40 lakh crore in foreign exchange through petrol substitution. Ethanol blending supports the rural economy, with expeditious payment of over Rs. 1.20 lakh crore to farmers, thereby creating income and employment opportunities in the agricultural and biofuel sectors. #E20 blending has helped India reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 700 lakh tonnes, contributing to climate change goals.
▶️The claim that this transition is abrupt or poorly communicated does not align with the detailed rollout plans outlined in the Government of India’s Roadmap for Ethanol Blending in India 2020–25, available on the websites of #MoPNG and @NitiAayog since 2021. The implementation of E20 in India has followed a phased and widely consulted approach, involving coordination between ministries, vehicle manufacturers, fuel retailers, standards agencies etc.
▶️Thus, the narrative that #EthanolBlending in Petrol is harming vehicles or causing undue hardship to consumers is not based on real facts and lacks technical foundation. Ethanol blending is a forward-looking, scientifically supported, and environmentally responsible measure that brings multi-dimensional benefits to the nation.

@Cryoviva_India what kind of shady sales techniques are you guys engaging in? We were promised a stroller when we subscribed to your plan and it’s been 3 months since. Your support is a scam. @CloudnineCare is allowing such scamsters to operate on their premises. Disappointing!
@KiaInd my car has been in the service Center for 3 months now due to no parts being available. Your corporate email and employees responsible don’t respond and expect customers to follow up. You guys have zero accountability. Scammers!
@KiaInd it's been more than 75 days since my car has been in your service center and Kia India has been absolutely silent on multiple emails that I have sent to you. Is this your customer care/service? Why run a business when you don't have basic parts available? Scammers!
How is @socialepfo a legitimate govt org that we entrust our retirements to? The passbook is never available, PF accounts go missing from portal and even a simple login is made difficult. Such a nightmare. If a bank were to behave like EPFO does, it will shut down in 3 hours
@FURLENCO@FurlencoSupport I returned my rental furniture 20 days ago but you guys have not refunded the security deposit. How are you super prompt in collecting monthly rentals but drop the ball here? Bunch of scammers.
@FURLENCO @FurlencoSupportbeen a long time customer who just returned my rented furniture and you guys have not refunded the security deposit. How are you super prompt in collecting monthly rentals bir drop the ball here? How can I trust you again!
